Marvel Entertainment has announced that it will begin adding a gold color treatment to the cover borders of key Ultimate books.  Marvel Publisher Dan Buckley noted that the new 'Gold Standard' trim, 'will allow fans to identify new number ones and the beginning of story arcs in the Ultimate line.'

The new look of the Ultimate books will also be timed to coincide with the special Ultimate Vision backup story by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr., which will serve as the prelude to the Ultimate Extinction limited series.  The Ultimate Vision backup will have six connected segments of four pages each and will appear in Ultimate Spider-Man #86 through #88, Ultimate Fantastic Four #25 and #26, and Ultimate X-Men #65.  There are no current plans to make the Ultimate Vision backup story available in trade.
